Description of the project
C-CAT/Cross Compliance Assessment Tool
The main objective of C-CAT is to develop an analytical tool that
enables the integrated assessment of the impact of Cross Compliance (CC)
at different geographical scales ranging from the European (markets) to
regional and farm levels. Impacts assessed by the tool include effects
on agricultural markets, farm incomes, land use, soil, water, air,
climate, biodiversity and landscapes, as well as food safety, animal
welfare and health.
The project will then use the methodology and tool to actually evaluate
the impact of cross-compliance since 2005. However, for food safety and
health it is 2006 and for animal welfare it will be 2007 requiring
assumptions for forecasting results.
C-CAT will fill a knowledge gap in understanding the effects of the
instrument of CC for reaching Europe’s environmental and socio-economic
sustainability goals of the Lisbon Strategy and laid down by the
European Council of Gothenburg in June 2001. The project’s results can
provide useful information to the debate on the effectiveness of CC
policy in the EU. With the CAP Health Check scheduled in 2008 and the EU
budget review expected in 2009, assessment results of the impacts of
Cross Compliance as produced in this project should come in very useful.
